La religión de los Incas tenía tres niveles: Kaypacha o el nivel del cielo; Hananpacha, la tierra y Uqupacha, el subsuelo. Estos niveles estaban representados por el cóndor, el lince y la serpiente respectivamente. Aquí tenéis una piedra sacrada sita en la ciudad de Machu pichu, un lugar situado arriba, donde viven los dioses.

Leí tu introducción y de este imagen es una ilustracion de lo que escribes:
"momentos irrepetibles" y "las cosas más maravillosas de este mundo: Viajar"
Estas piedras son un testimonio a la religión de los Incas: feliz Navidad1 y año nuevo

Una imagen muy representativa y de muy hermosa composición , y unos colores magníficos.
Feliz Navidad y próspero año nuevo.

I like how you came in relatively close to show the texture of the rock, but I think this makes the picture a little difficult to grasp. I think had you zoomed out a little showing just a little more of the surroundings it would be easier to understand what we're seeing. Technically the picture is very nice with good sharpness, contrast and exposure.

Bonjour Miguel
Photo traduisant l'aspect mystérieux de la culture Inca...
Sans doute dédié aux dieux, que ce cache-t-il réellement derrière cette construction ?
